Has anyone encountered the "Directory is invalid!" error while installing the 1.1 patch and can anyone tell me how to resolve the issue? (other than attempting to reinstall?)

Could be caused by SWBF2 surviving a Windows reinstall, or getting moved to another place on the hard drive (technically the game is portable and can run from anywhere). The registry entry, however is what the patches use to find the executable if I remember right.

Yeah, that looks like it checks out though.
Heh, I'm just trying to run the installer in the hopes that ZE will decide to run again (It quit a week ago)
